Let's assume - a record exists in base file (a=1, b=2,c=null,dt=2022-01-15), - and an incoming record (a=1, b=null, c=3, dt=2022-01-16). The `BucketAssignFunction` will generate a deleted record with partition path `2022-01-15` and the incoming record with partition path `2022-01-16`. The original record in base file will be removed while running `HoodieMergeHandle.write(GenericRecord oldRecord)`, but incoming record cannot find the relevant record under `2022-01-16`, so the result will only keep the info from incoming record(a=1, b=null, c=3, dt=2022-01-16), the original(b=2) will missed.
